My Words, My Book features authors' interviews offering children unique insights into the creative process behind some of their most beloved stories and explaining what is it like to be an author.
The shows will feature fiction and non-fiction and combines interviews with emerging authors as well as those who are well known.
It will reach children across different platforms, podcast channels, YouTube and will be linked to social media channels.

Four charities will benefit from books donated by authors, Fences and Frontiers, the Grenada Community Library, Kinship and the South Norwood Community Kitchen.
My Words, My Book will be available for all children including those who are home educated, those attending school online and those who are in hospital.
The beauty of My Words, My Book is that children can watch or listen at a time that is suitable for them and as many times as they like. My Words, My Book is an evergreen resource.

Cathy shares how her work as a journalist led her into writing children’s books and reflects on how many authors do not come from a traditional creative writing background. She also talks about her friendship group, many of whom are neurodivergent, and how Disabled and Proud (or at least kinda sorta okay with it…) covers themes including starting secondary school and puberty. Cathy highlights the importance of amplifying the voices of disabled children and how indeed this is crucial for their sense of belonging.
Cathy Reay is a disabled writer and journalist, and mum of two (plus a very cheeky cat!). She also works in educational publishing. How To Be Disabled and Proud (or at least kinda sorta okay with it…) is her first children’s book.
